i think most are just takin the piss DJ, but the problem lies, is an engine bearing is different to normal bearing, and to suggest the use of a normal ceramic bearing in ones $7-800 engine to have it explode, is not a good one.
novarossi make ceramic bearings, and there is a way to put them in, why ? it is due to the bearing being offset. so you must use the correct bearing for your application. and i just read your other post, about you.
it gets to some people when info is handed out with out thinking about what you just said. take bearings for instance, i would not use nor say to someone else to run a normal bearing. load rating, RPM range is the material it is intended for, once a bearing looses its hardness, you will see destruction with in seconds down a straight. secondly, about engine modding, you refer to the best (murnan) then offer to do it for free, what are you trying to say ? thats what i think is more the point. personally i would only post to help some one, when you 100% know you can, or you are offering the right information. some people know more than yourself, myself, and even the best keep learning. and a motor is a high end , not a baseline truck engine. an out of the box Nova will be more powerfull than a traxas 3.3, so when you tinker with those, its easy to get power. not so with a motor out of the box of late from some of the more reputable brands, Nova, RB, Max etc. i only say this is you relate to the 3.3 alot that you have played with. i have helped many people on this forum, and i have also recieved alot of help, but its been behind closed doors, PM is the best way, then you dont suffer so much with the fighting. just some food for thaught. and yeah the Vics are on, you should be tearing your car down everynight, checking bearings, checking your engines, reset your droops and cambers, and charging batteries.
